I just got my sleeve 2 days ago, the 19th. I'm having a little nausea, nothing serious like vomiting. I think the gas pains hurt the worst, especially up in my shoulders. I'm doing plenty of walking to try and dissipate all the gas but it's going to take several days most likely. I hate not being able to take a full drink! The sips suck so bad. Out of habit, I've picked up my bottle of Water and taken a gulp a couple of times and it was sooo painful! Re-training my brain to break the old habits and just what comes naturally is going to be tough. Head hunger is killing me! I'm not physically feeling very hungry but seeing my family eat and knowing I can't have anything but liquids really makes me sad!! I'm craving some meat like crazy! Lol

Anyhow, congrats on your new journey! Wishing us both a speedy recovery! Lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
